4:00 am
♪ hey now ♪ hey now ♪ >> lisa: good morning, everyone. i'm lisa boothe. we have joey jones, griff jenkins here. we survived an hour. we did it. one hour in. we got two more hours to go holding down the for the in new york city on this reasonably, it's not really that cold. my vantage point is miami, florida. basically anything below 70 is
4:01 am
cold. >> joe: was that new jersey that's sunrise. >> griff: look at that gorgeous sky. that is what we call dawn patrol. [splash] >> griff: have enough light to see the waves out there. you can see them come in. i think i looked at the surf report. it's about 2 to 3 feet. the wind is not strong right now. i have surfed there. a fantastic place to go and surf. we now have gotten the video of your skills to demonstrate to americans of how good you are. now, you were thrown into this by the producers. and you absolutely right. perfect balance. arms out. maintaining your center of gravity and then it threw you off. you were in there for a second. on the east coast, the waves are very short, very quickly they don't last forever we would have got been a great wave. >> that's what i look like
4:02 am
standing, just standing, that's me just standing. >> lisa: do you know what is absolutely -- first of all it got started before the clock. i started moving before the clock. buy but anyways i felt like i was on this thing forever. on tv your time gets distorted and then watching back the clip it was like 8 seconds which is totally pathetic. i have surfed on the west coast in like venice and santa monica it is fun but hard work. i basically just got my face smashed in with waves more or less. >> griff: it is hard but you are being humble, you did great. you were on that board for as long as it was going to be. >> joey: i'm proud of you. >> griff: next time do it in the real water indeed. travel chaos continues for another day as southwest cancels more than 2400 flights this morning. >> joey: we are learning transportation secretary pete buttigieg was warned a meltdown like this was bound to happen. >> lisa: peter doocy joins us live from the white house with more. peter, what do we need to know?
4:03 am
>> peter: it's interesting this morning because the airlines are already one of the most regulated industries in the country. so there are these new questions about why it is the feds are being so reactive to the southwest meltdown and why they weren't more proactive. >> southwest wasn't prepared and, unfortunately, this has been a decade in the making. we have sounded alarm bells. we have tried to get them to change processes. but it's a combination of processes, outdated technology and infrastructure. >> peter: so the numbers just are not getting much better. another 2300 southwest flights straight up canceled. new york's attorney general may have seen this coming before the feds did. letitia james wrote to pete buttigieg i write out of concern for the deeply troubling and escalating pattern of airlines delaying and canceling flights over the past several months, particularly over holiday weekends. that was in august.
4:04 am
and then buttigieg shrugged off concerns a month later in september. >> will would he be solved in time for the holidays. >> i think it will be better by the holidays. we are really pressing the airlines to deliver better service. >> peter: that did just not happen. southwest is apologetic. unclear this morning how much cop trite tweet is providing comfort to someone who is sleeping on the floor of an airport. back to you. >> lisa: thanks, peter. appreciate it. >> griff: we heard from pete buttigieg. he was on capitol hill. he was tweeting the other day. has he been there at the white house? have you seen any sights of secretary buttigieg. >> no, we have not seen him at the white house. in fairness, there is really nobody here from the administration here at the white house. there are some folks. they usually like it when the president leaves town because they with it actually get stuff done, but it seems like this time between christmas and new year's a lot of folks are home
4:05 am
working remotely. >> griff: that's right. i forgot the president is in saint croix in the virgin islands. >> lisa: in fairness he probably goes to bed at 5:00 p.m. every night. and let's take a listen real quick. just to set this all up to understand how bad all of this is. let's listen to some of these travelers who have been stuck, who have not been able to get their flights, just this frustration. listen. >> i was supposed to fly out on christmas eve, december 24th. and southwest just canceled me, with no notice. and now i have been canceled three times. >> you think they would have been aware that before this busy holiday season. we're obviously disappointed in southwest. >> we feel very angry because we already have everything planned for our christmas vacation. >> it didn't happen. >> -- >> if they cancel this flight here stuck another day.
4:06 am
hopefully find another hotel, pay for more food, more cabs, you know, just a lot of other things. pay for people to keep watching our house for longer. >> joey: let me tell you something, guys, if you would have interviewed me when my bag was lost back sunday night, i would have looked like that. those people impress me with their demeanor. i would have been, you know, when the tornado comes through the trailer park kind of thing. i would have been in complete disarray, so upset. and not mad just that feeling of hopelessness like for me it was a bag because my clothes have to be tethered to my leg that's an important thing. for these people it's getting their physical self-somewhere with a bag mishap that's not just problem. airlines have opportunity to predict this in a lot of ways. they chose not to. they text my phone a million times to let me know my plane changed gates. for the next two months everyone is packing heavy bags, bringing more checked baggage than
4:07 am
normal. high traffic plus weather. try to pack light. just that kind of advisory would have helped a lot of people. >> griff: i want to get back to secretary buttigieg saying is he going to look into this and hold southwest accountability. in fairness to southwest, they, more than anybody are embarrassed. they have to be by. this they want to right the ship more than anybody, obviously. the damage to their reputation over this holiday incident is gonna last far beyond this new year's. it's going -- people are going to look at this and say man, i'm not going to buy southwest. however, it's worth, if you listen to the southwest pilot association president, here's what he said billion not really being fully prepared. take a listen to. this southwest wasn't prepared. and, unfortunately, this has been a decade in the making. we have sounded alarm bells.
4:08 am
we have tried to get them to change processes. processes. outdated technology and infrastructure. when one domino falls, it creates many other issues. we start each day with enough pilots, flight attendants, ramp agents. customer service agents there to do the job. once one interruption occurs, it's those processes that cause the need for so many more people. that's kind of the official is i and the problem with the processes. >> lisa: i was reading into this, it does seem to be a total break down on a variety of levels. one point to point system like the way they do flying. and pick up new crew along the way. if one gets messed up it has cascading effect. antiquated scheduling system compared to other airlines. a series of otherrers happened here. the problem is for a lot of these fliers with the way the policies are, it's really hard to bring recourse against a lot of these airlines. the department of transportation, they can implement fines.
4:09 am
they can implement penalties. i hope they do. so i think southwest is deserving of that it seems ever since covid, everything is dysfunctional in this country. nothing runs properly anymore. i have got a girlfriend who just one of my best friends just had a baby having trouble getting baby formula. there is a like of tylenol for children. you look at things like this. it just seems like nothing functions as it should anymore. and it's embarrassing, because we are the united states of america. and there just seems to be an absolute breakdown on every level in the country right now. >> joey: speaking of covid, pilots were told go ahead and retire. go ahead and leave with no. >> lisa: or get the vaccine when they didn't want it. >> joey: or don't come to work because of the vaccine. they did have that policy in place. covid had effect on staffing. how many people can tend a plane and baggage. title 42 going on. different parties think differently about covid today.
4:10 am
i'm not sure. on that topic, biden is going to regulate travel from china after previously calling trump xenophobic for doing the same thing. >> griff: that's right. now fliers from china will have to test negative, bringing it back. we can show you the requirements all air passengers ages 2 and over must test negative no more than two days from departure china, hong kong and macao. applies to all nationalities and vaccination status. applies to travelers in u.s. only for connecting flights. we're bringing this back the way back machine can be inconvenient. a tweet back on february 1st of 2020 biden tweeting we are in the midst of a crisis with the coronavirus. we need to lead the way with science, not donald trump's record of hysteria, xenophobia and fear-mongering. he is the worst possible person to lead our country through a global health emergency. now, there is little doubt that
4:11 am
when then president trump did try and stop the flights from china, that kept this spread from being worse. >> lisa: there is all this criticism toward president trump and the way he handled covid. democrats did not take it seriously as evidenced by that tweet from joe biden. also, i think this is silly. we have to accept the fact that covid, like the flu like colds is part of our life now. so this testing, this focus on this endemic it's going to be with us. almost as silly and china's zero covid policy which is almost impossible. never going to get to zero covid. it's not about covid in china it's about control as we have seen with thicker tracking system basically green, yellow or reddick tates your movement. that's the reality about covid. it's never been about health and public health. just like the vaccine mandate control and submission. >> joe: politicization of covid is something we should really focus on for a long time. that's not to say covid isn't real or anything along those
4:12 am
lines whatsoever. it's the idea that people who play in politics and partisan politics saw this as an opportunity to divide us, to control us. to get us mad at each other in ways that i have never seen in my lifetime. i can remember september 12th, 2021, that type of unit, it's like this was used to do the opposite. we go through this tragedy and they use it to divide us. and the idea here being we don't have a chance to figure out how we feel individually about covid because we're told what we're supposed to think. we're told what regulations we're supposed to believe in rather than question. we reported on twitter, squashing very legitimate doctor's views and talking about doctors. representative brad wenstrup, republican out of ohio, who is on the g.o.p. doctor's caucus related to this latest travel regulation on "fox & friends first." >> it won't impact our help here in the united states, but we saw the negative effects of the complete lockdowns here in the
4:13 am
united states when we did that. and we saw so many people were affected in other ways because they weren't getting their medical care, et cetera. i'm curious how that is going to play out in china. hopefully they won't be spreading it to other parts ever the world likely happened and seemingly did happen when covid first began. so hopefully it won't be affecting the united states, but we have got to move in better directions. dr. fauci is about to retire, but that doesn't mean that we aren't finished asking him a lot of questions. >> griff: clear your schedule, dr. fauci. his last day on saturday. but, as you heard there, he clearly is going to be headed for some capitol hill hearings. >> lisa: real quick, you had mentioned the division. joe biden, before christmas last year, told people it would be the winter for death for the unvaccinated. do not have christmas with unvaccinated family members. he really tried to stoke that and as someone who chose not to get the vaccine, that was a difficult period of time, particularly knowing that it doesn't protect anyone else
4:14 am
because you can still get and spread it regardless. so it really is an individual choice. >> griff: someone who never divides us, only unites us with headlines, ashley strohmier. send it over to you. >> ashley: some would argue against that but thank you, griff. we are going to start with this -- with the crisis at the border. a texas ranch owner sharing this video, showing a group suspected illegal immigrants attempting to break into her house. the owner says they tried to kick the door in but were unsuccessful due to thousands of dollars in recently added security upgrades. and a massive surge of migrants reported in the del rio sector in texas in less than 24 hours. border patrol encountered four large groups totaling over 1400 and they say this has become the new normal. a twice deported ms-13 member was arrested in virginia last month. and he is on el salvador's list of the top 1100 most wanted. previously deported in 2006 and

4:16 am
do what you want. i'm eating the grapes. >> ashley: 12 will grapes custom going viral on tiktok. every grape consumed midnight under a table represents a month of the year. tradition dates back to 1895. originating in spain. but has spread to countries across the globe. i have never heard of this. >> griff: hang on. she is not under a table. she is doing it wrong. >> griff: you have to get under a table? >> ashley: that's whats at the is. don't ask me i'm the it news deliverer. lips his bunch of weird things. >> griff: maybe pack some grapes in my bag because we have got right here on fox news a huge new year's eve celebration. pete, will, and rachel, the weekend crew will be down in nashville at the wild horse saloon rocking it out. they did it last year. it was fantastic. it's going to be even better this year. you're going to have some v.i.p.

>> griff: cities across the country are experiencing a short damage of 911 operators delaying police response times. and in kansas city, missouri, it's grown so critical that some emergency calls are being placed on hold. our next guest is looking to combat the low numbers with a $5,000 signing bonus. mayor lucas joins me now. he is also the police board member on the city's board of commissions. mr. mayor, thank you for taking time and coming on today. an important story.
4:23 am
it's affecting, obviously, cities across the country but specifically where you are in kansas city. what is the impact this is having to response times? >> well, right now, it is horrible that we have people that call 911 are sometimes placed in an answering service. so you hit a voice mail in kansas city and they say please hold, your call will be answered. it is something that is very serious and significant and the concern isn't just from calls coming in now but deterring people from calling 911 when they have an emergency. it's something that we do not want to do and it's why we think that dire measures are needed to address this very important issue. >> griff: mayor lucas, why is this happening and what is the solution? >> i think sometimes it's overlooked just how hard this job is you are on the phone with people sometimes in the most tense situation in their lives including life and death situations. too often the pay has been too low. that's why we are saying not only will you be paid well and good benefits and good quality
4:24 am
of life but frankly thank them in more ways too. just in the last two years we have had more to the law enforcement and look to the emergency dispatchers to make sure they are also appreciated both in pay and support and benefits but more than anything, that we keep looking to make sure that folks when they have job opportunities are looking at this important task rather than any number of other private sector, sometimes easier opportunities. >> griff: mr. mayor, we can show according to the labor statistics the median salary 46,670 per year rounds out 'to about 22 and a half per hour and your proposal is a $5,000 signing bonus in addition to other incentives. tell me about it. in addition better hours. instead of having to work mandatory overtime which happens. particularly if you have children very income patible to
4:25 am
being at home. making sure we are finding more flexible hours for folks and give them better work environments and more than anything making sure that they know there are good promotional opportunities at the police department and frankly beyond with the city. those are just a few of the steps. but it is my view number one that as we are dealing with a workplace shortage of officers, of 911 spheamps and so many more, step 1 has to be pay. making sure that folks are paid a fair gengs for their work and frankly more than anything saying that we want you. you have seen this work in places i know florida has been giving signing bonuses to law enforcement officers. we hope with 911 dispatchers in addition to law enforcement officers, we can reverse this trend of decline of folks working in operationing system. >> griff: you mentioned florida it's happening across america. wow this happens in big cities like new york or l.a. obviously in kansas city right in the heartland mayor quinton lucas, thank you for taking time and speaking out. >> thank you so much. >> griff: all right.

coming up. a fox news alert. explosion rocking ukrainian cities overnight as russia launches more than 100 mills 100 missiles fromthe air and se. a panel of american veterans react next.
4:27 am
4:28 am
4:29 am
♪ >> griff: a fox news alert. russia intensifying its attacks
4:30 am
against ukraine firing more than 100 missiles into major cities including kyiv. early this morning, joining us now our panel of veterans marine veteran ozy martinez along with medal of honor recipient staff sergeant david and navy trauma surgeon dr. richard jaddack. as a marine myself it's an honor to have you on and talk about this. david, i want to start with you what is going on in ukraine right now. i know you have comments about what they are actually trying to do by launching these attacks. >> yeah. so, they are hitting their critical infrastructure. and it was a kamikaze drone attack first followed by sea based cruise missiles and land basedbase cruise missiles. odesa and in the west freeze these people out during the cold winter.
4:31 am
the patriot missile batteries that are going to take a long time for these ukrainians to use are effective. they are not on the ground and be able to repel these hits. this is all about flotion out the people of ukraine it's cruel and barbaric. >> joey: doctor, david that you cans about how cruel and barbaric this is. that's exactly right. you have seen the atrocities of war to think you are having war tragedies through cold and freezing is a different level. >> russian tactic to completely annihilate all of the local systems so that the people within the city can't function. they can't get food. they can't get water. they can't get heat and they freeze. similar to mariupol people won't be able to get out and there will be bodies in the street. >> you are a new jersey marine. two types of marines when i came into the marine corps in 2005.
4:32 am
two type of combat veterans. combat veterans and fallujah marines. it was that big of a deal. that's how big of a deal new jersey was. this what we are looking at in kyiv looks like urban warfare. when you see these images, what does that make you think? >> honestly, joey, it makes me think that we don't need to be there. you just said it. i'm a new jersey marine and what we saw and did in new jersey, we question it to this day sometimes. unfortunately, what it ended up having to take was leveling the city in the ii invasion that i wasn't a part of. i was part of the first invasion. but it took us leveling the city. and i don't think that's something that we need to be doing. we don't need to be funding one side of the war while releasing prisoners to the other side. i think we just need to stay out. this seems like something strategically being done as dave said the patriot missiles aren't being used yet and this is forcing us to use more action on our end that we don't just need to be doing.
4:33 am
>> griff: let's modify on to something that's a little bit happier for me. i served on the uss rush more. i know what serving on a ship is like. it's not fun. we have -- the navy is going to name an assault ship after the bloody battles of new jersey in honor of marines who fought al-qaeda terrorists and other service members in house-to-house combat. david, i want to go to you first on this. what does it mean to memorialize, basically this amazing battle of new jersey? >> some brave men and women fought and bled on that soil. this is our generation's normandy beach. we did it with all branches of service. and the best of us just like iwo jima and guadalcanal. it's humbling and it's well worth it. these marines, sailors and soldiers deserve it. >> joey: if any viewers at home haven't read up on david or the
4:34 am
battle we call phantom fury. this is a story that needs to be brought. this amphibious ship, i know you are part of the yacht yas has to do with riding around in track vehicles. what do you think about this? >> i think this is amazing. i wear this bracelet right here every single day of my life. and it has the five names of the five marines we lost there. starting aim 13th. and then my lieutenant septembee more guys -- sorry, three more guys on september 13th, the day right after. and for me the simple fact that this is amphibious assault vehicle being named this, i think it's amazing. because it's going to show the impact of what the united states navy and the marine corps has to offer inside that vehicle. everything that's in there there's going to be not amtrak but the new vehicle in there amphibious marines.
4:35 am
all sorts of stuff and we're going to be able to pack the same punch that we packed in fallujah on that vehicle whenever that vehicle -- that ship needs to be used. >> joey: that's what the marine corps does well wage war anywhere in 72 hours. that's our promise. this ship helps do that doctor real quick, reflect on fallujah and efforts saving lives. one of if not the most awarded doctor from the iraq war. tell me, just reflect on your experiences there. >> you know, it was definitely a battle of blood and courage. led by marines from house-to-house. and the things that i saw. the things that they did for each other were amazing. this ship is just a legacy in a long -- it's just another memorial to a legacy of great marines and great battles doing the things our country asked to do. fallujah was no different. it was a great generation of military men and women putting themselves on the ground to do
4:36 am
the right things for their teammates, for their fellow marines and soldiers. >> joey: gentlemen, your life and service is an absolute tribute to this country. i can't thank each of you enough. it's an honor to call you my peers in war and have you on this morning. thanks for coming on. >> thank you, joey. >> thank you. >> joey: coming up, thousands of flight cancellations across the u.s. leaving travelers stranded. kurt the cyberguy is live from lax with his tips on getting home. plus, stunning video from the border showing suspected migrants trying to break into a texas rancher's home. the consequences of biden's open border policies. that's it right there on your tv.
